Some of the most influential shifts in hip-hop music originated in the south's entertainment mecca known as Atlanta, Georgia. From snap music, to the throbbing bass of Freak-Nik sounds, to hip flows from Outkast, Ludacris...up to more recent themes like trap and strip club sounds; the vibe of old and new Atlanta can now be felt in music that stretches across the country.

One person who sat front row during the weaving of Atlanta music's origins to where it is today: ATL's hip-hop historian famously known as DJ Nabs, the Mad DJ.

From touring with Kriss-Kross, Michael Jackson, Da Brat, Jermaine Dupri, to DJing at Ciara and Russell Wilson's wedding, to still honing his roller-skating skills at Cascade on Wednesday nights...Nabs' breath-taking DJ sets keep listeners and those who are fortunate enough to get close and watch him spin - in complete awe. This special episode needs no further introduction. Enjoy Ed Lover's conversation with DJ Nabs.
